In an interview with the Telegraph's Sunday magazine, Pfeiffer said that during the 1980s she was a breatharian — people who strive to live on nothing but sunlight.

I thought those were called “teenage girls.”

Pfeiffer said she started working with a couple she initially saw as “kind of personal trainers.” But when her then-husband, Peter Horton was cast in a movie about a cult, it dawned on her, “I was in one.”

The film was about followers of Rev Sun Myung Moon's Unification Church and the Pfeiffer helped Horton with his research. “We were talking with an ex-Moonie and he was describing the psychological manipulation and I just clicked,” the 55-year-old actress said.

“They worked with weights and put people on diets. Their thing was vegetarianism,” Pfeiffer said. “They were very controlling. I wasn't living with them but I was there a lot and they were always telling me I needed to come more. I had to pay for all the time I was there, so it was financially very draining. They believed that people in their highest state were breatharian.”

I once joined a cult that advocated eating nothing but pizza and watching ESPN.

The Huffington Post reported at least four breatharians have died in the recent past from trying to live on sunshine and spirituality alone. Apparently, they missed biology class back in school.

Lockheed says object part of 'sensor technology' testing that ended ThursdayWhat the heck is that thing? It's fair to assume that question was on the minds of many people who traveled along Colo. 128 south of Boulder this week if they happened to catch a glimpse of what appeared to be a large, silver projectile perched alongside the highway and pointed north toward town.
